When High Performers Break The Rules

In Hotel Room Murder, one of the suspects is known for brilliance. They get results. They always seem to be one step ahead of everyone else. But beneath the charm and talent lies a troubling truth: their success often comes at the expense of ethics. Corners are cut, rules are bent, and others clean up the mess.

Sound familiar? Every workplace has the “star performer” whose numbers impress but whose behaviour undermines trust. HR’s toughest task isn’t just hiring great talent but ensuring that performance doesn’t excuse misconduct.

👉 The workplace lesson: Protect culture over short-term wins. A rule-breaking star is not an asset, they’re a liability in disguise.

5 Series, 5 Months Campaign - Intro to Series 2

Dear readers,

#Because my 45th book launches this month. Not the age 😁

#September #NewMonth #NewBook

Faced With Murder — the third Inspector Tunde Osbourne case — drops on 28th September 2025. Packed with twists, drama, and suspense, it just might be his toughest case yet.

Description: 

A distressed woman reports a mysterious pregnancy after a massage session, and Inspector Tunde Osbourne is reluctantly drawn into the case, hoping to close it before the day ends. But what begins as a routine inquiry quickly unravels into a web of evasive employees, vanished records, and a secret strong enough to shatter reputations. When the trail leads to a confrontation that could end in murder, the inspector must decide how far he is willing to go for the truth.

So this month’s 5 Series, 5 Months spotlight is The Inspector Tunde Osbourne Investigations — following Lagos’ finest detective through crimes (especially murders).

The first published book, Hotel Room Murder (written in 2020, longlisted for the Quramo Writers’ Prize the same year, and published in 2021), wasn’t actually the first I wrote. That honour goes to Murder On Site (written in 2018, published in 2023), inspired by my time in a construction company, where I quickly learned how easily a body could be hidden on site 😅. I held it back at first, rewriting it until the story felt accessible, understandable, and relatable beyond the industry.

Hotel Room Murder came after long hours of searching for an unpredictable plot, and when it finally hit me, even I was wowed! In this story, Inspector Osbourne teams up with one of my private investigators, and together, they crack the case. Grab a free copy of Hotel Room Murder HERE and join me as Fiction meets Function this Friday.
